首先本地windows下，发送成功，很happy，那就放上linux上试下，一运行，出现

SMTP ERROR: Failed to connect to server: ()
SMTP connect() failed. https://github.com/PHPMailer/PHPMailer/wiki/Troubleshooting
Mailer Error: SMTP connect() failed. https://github.com/PHPMailer/PHPMailer/wiki/Troubleshooting

然后各大技术论坛查资料；首先检查linux服务器上的openssl和sockets已经开启，fsockopen函数也没有禁用，邮箱的smtp服务也已经开启，依然还是不行。至于有一种说法将smtp换成SMTP，是能够发送成功，后来查看下源码，发现这种只是通过sendmail发送的，不是smtp。然后，直接在linux上ping smtp.qq.com,telnet  smtp.qq.com 465都没什么问题，可是依然发送报上述的错误，后来查看官网资料，发现下面一段代码

$mail->SMTPOptions = array(
'ssl' => array(
    'verify_peer' => false,
    'verify_peer_name' => false,
    'allow_self_signed' => true
    )
);

将这段代码加上之后，邮件发送成功。
